The Mission
It's no secret, women love shoes. It only seemed natural to channel this passion for shoes to support a worthy cause. So the Wish Upon A Hero Foundation created the Hero in Heels program which benefits women affected by cancer and other life-altering diseases.
Hero in Heels collects signed celebrity donated shoes and then auctions them off online and at the live event. The money raised from the auction grants the wishes of women who are suffering with cancer. We purchase wigs and prosthesis as well as helping them with basic necessities.
The Heros
The average female celebrity has a closet full of incredible footwear. Most of those shoes are worn only a few times before they return to the shelf only to collect dust. The Hero in Heels program puts those beautiful shoes back into the spotlight. Thanks to all the heroes who have donated their heels for the fashon auction.
About EJAF
The Elton John AIDS Foundation (EJAF) was established in the United States in 1992 by Sir Elton John. EJAF's U.S. office is located in New York City. In 1993, Sir Elton also established the Elton John AIDS Foundation (EJAF-UK) in the United Kingdom, headquartered in London. These two organizations function as separate entities with their own distinct grant-making portfolios, but both pursue similar missions - to support innovative HIV prevention programs, efforts to eliminate stigma and discrimination associated with HIV/AIDS, and direct care and support services for people living with HIV/AIDS. Collectively, the two organizations have raised over $220 million since inception in support of projects in 55 countries around the world, including significant funding dedicated to programs in their respective home countries.
EJAF-US awards grants to community-based projects in the Americas and the Caribbean. EJAF-UK focuses its grant-making on programs in Africa, Asia, and Europe. Please visit www.ejaf.com for further information on the UK organization.
EJAF regularly evaluates its grant-making priorities within the context of the ever-changing challenges and needs of the evolving HIV/AIDS epidemic, targeting its grant awards where they will make the greatest impact. This approach has clearly resonated with our donors, and their generous response over the past two years has enabled us to increase EJAF’s grant making by 140%. We have expanded not only the amount of money given but also strategically targeted key populations that are poorly served by current prevention efforts and most at risk of infection including: critically under-funded communities of the Southern United States, the Caribbean, and Latin America; highly marginalized populations such as injection drug users, men who have sex with men, and incarcerated individuals; and underserved populations such as African Americans and young people.
EJAF focuses on supporting community-based prevention programs, harm reduction programs, public education to reduce the stigma of HIV/AIDS, advocacy to improve AIDS-related public policy, and direct services to persons living with HIV/AIDS, especially populations with special needs. Direct services include HIV/AIDS-related medical and mental health treatment, testing and counseling, food distribution, assisted living, social service coordination, and legal aid.
The Foundation’s greatest asset and strength is its Founder and Chairman, Sir Elton John. No mere figurehead, Sir Elton serves as EJAF’s chief fund-raiser – conducting benefit concerts, meeting with major donors, foundations, and corporations, and participating in numerous public events – and also as a highly visible and outspoken advocate – testifying before Congress, appearing at press conferences, writing editorials, and delivering speeches at events and awards ceremonies. His status as an entertainment icon and his many years as a dedicated AIDS activist and philanthropist bring tremendous visibility and credibility to EJAF’s work.
